I stay reclined when I'm out so the middle of my back has been sitting on the upper edge of the bait tank and is not quite comfortable after a long day fishing. I don't know if someone has already posted this but now I have a complete headrest on my hobie outback! I tested in the garage and I could have taken a nap right there. I hope it works as well on the water. I used insulator tubing for 1/2" copper and a metal tube I had laying around. I think the metal tube was a towel rod of some fixture I had removed. I cut the metal tube into 2ea 22cm length and inserted into the insulator tubing. You can see how I placed this into the handle of my bait tank. The loop at the top does not have any metal in it and the result is that it cradles your head when you lean back. I put an extra piece of styrofoam behind the bait tank so it doesn't slide back and crimp the intake from the scupper. I'll be adding some velcro to this so it doesn't float out of place.
